April 28 - The House at Pooneil Corners

Today's song was scary when it was recorded by Jefferson Airplane, but it got even scarier in 1993, when Motorpsycho put their hands on it. It is a song that is on the Mountain EP, following their breakthrough album, Demon Box. Demon Box was a double LP, but their record company, Voices of Wonder, did not want to release it as a double CD, so out of space restrictions, the song Mountain, which is one of my absolute favorites from that album, was left off Demon Box, but later released on its own EP. I have since sought out the original, but Motorpsycho's version of The House at Pooneil Corners is so dark and scary sounding that it is the one I prefer.
